Inside his bell cage the fighting cock ruffled his feathers, stretched his neck and gave a loud approving crow.

Astiti, T'e Tailor Of Ubud

We of the western world are all too familiar with that menace to the hip pocket, that drain on the cheque book - the fashion parade. At some point in our life we have run foul of one. The cakewalk - a stretch of raised planks hidden 'neath a sleazy carpet (matting), the models - a batch of scrawny girls (their vacant faces blatant badges of either hunger or boredom), mincing mechanically up and down, posturing their pelvis first right, then left. ("Ooooh, mummy, don't she walk funny. Has she got something wrong wiv her tummy

The over-refeened voice of the compere echoing hollowly through the mike, assuring you that these garments (which fail to grip you anyway) are the last word in fashion. If you do not acquire one, or more, it is positive proof that:

(a)You are a social drop-out,
(b)Your husband is a failure, who can't afford to indulge
your fancy.

Or both

Should you fall for this ploy, you soon discover that the garment that hung like a wet dishcloth on a line over the bony frame of the model, resembles a shopping bag over-stuffed with potatoes when strained around your comfortable curves.

A haughty assistant assures "Moddom" that Weight Watchers can work wonders, but, meantime, their workroom can let out just a -fraction here and here, and here This service will only cost "Moddom" the merest trifle, say another $100.

Should you still Pursue this:death-wish to be hooked, you return home, reverently nursing your purchase - er investment, revelling in your one-upmanship,but secretly shuddering at the hole in hubby,s bank balance.

in Bali we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely purified ancestors who are considered as divine.
No contact is sought with the pirata, the dead who have not yet been cremated. Oil the contrary they are dangerous, Offerings must however be made for the redemption of their souls.
